Abstract

Chronic muscle weakness is a common complaint among patients seen in rheumatology and neuromuscular specialty clinics. This article focuses on adult-onset muscular dystrophies, select hereditary myopathies, and other neuromuscular conditions that must be distinguished from acquired causes of inflammatory muscle disease such as polymyositis. A few organizing principles help to focus the evaluation and narrow the differential diagnosis.

摘要

慢性肌肉无力是风湿科和神经肌肉科就诊患者常见的主诉。本文重点介绍成人型肌营养不良症、特定遗传性肌病和其他神经肌肉疾病，这些疾病必须与获得性炎症性肌病（如多发性肌炎）的病因相鉴别。一些组织原则有助于集中评估和缩小鉴别诊断范围。
